This is quite important for us as students have started to share their assignments and they are visible to far too many people by default within the same institution. Educating students as to the sharing settings is a workaround, but I agree that it should not be enabled by default.
Having access to full profiles, etc., is absolutely fine, but it's about the default share settings; those should be opt-in rather than opt-out, to prevent accidentally sharing sensitive documents by accident. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mahara Contributors, which is subscribed to Mahara.

There's a sitewide setting $cfg->loggedinprofileviewaccess which determines whether or not users are forced to share their profile page with all logged-in users of the site. But, there is no corresponding institutional setting to determine whether or not users are forced to share their profile page with all members of their institution. There should be such a setting.
